He Accidentally Kills His Mother.

MARION, IND, August 20.-One of the
most lamentable tragedies ever cnronicled
as reported to Coroner Lord at an early
hour this forenoon.
The scene of the sad occurrence is one OF
the most remote parts of this county, be-
ing eighteen miles southwest of this city,
and three miles south of Point isabel. The
facts In the case, as near rs they can be
CLEANED from the meager accounts that are
at band, are as follows:
Yesterday Newton Lightfoot, who is a
solid and substantial famer, had occasion
TO go away from home, and his business
was of such character as to detaln him
over night. Thieves have been devastating
smoke houses and cribs and entering
houses in that locality of late, and there
being no other male member of his house
hold, as q measure of precaution he re-
quested his son, Frank Ligntfoot, who
lives on an 40 joining farm, to come over
and spend the night. This was done, and
at an early hour the family retired. Frank
LightfOoL requested that IN case any MEM
Der of the family arose during the night
they should first awaken him, as he eX-
pected to use the revolver under his pillow
in the event Of an invasion. About mid
night the household was thrown into the
utmost CONSERVATION by the crack OF
pistol, followed by the sgonized groans of
some one evidently in mortal agony.
Young Lightfoot had been aroused by
some one entering the house. and, without
stopping to ask any questions, had hlazed
away with deadly effect. A light was pro-
cured, and the family and young Light
foot were horror-stricken to find Mrs. New
ton Lightioot, mother OF the man who
shot her, weltering in her blood. Upon
examination it was found that the ball, a
thlrty-two caliber. had entered her right
side about half way between the hip and
shoulder. She was beyond the reach of
surgical aid, and died in twenty minutes.
She stated that she had heard some COM
motion among the stock, and thought she
would investigate without alarming the
family. She protested with her dying
breath that her son was blameless, aud that
she was to blame for her misfortune. De-
ceased was about fitty-five years old, and
the mother of large family of children.
The event is deeply deploIed, and has
cast gloom over the entire neighborhood.
The Coroner left for the scene of the trag-
edy this afternoon TO hold an inquest.

daughter named Mary, who last year, far
